YES it is permissions related. You need to run it as
root or follow the instructions for changing AM to
run as a non root userThanks so much. :)

WPUMFactory.getUserFactory returning NullPointerException

Hi All,
I am trying to do an application for creating a folder in KM repository.
I have written as follows.
public class KMAbstractComp extends AbstractPortalComponent
    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
          try
     com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(request.getUser());
          catch (Exception e)
     response.write(e.toString());
But this statement is returning NullPointerException can anyone help me in this regard to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the reply!!!!
I have written my code like this.

               response.write(e.toString()
But it is showing NullPointerException.
I tried to juz print the
WPUMFactory.getUserFactory()
. But actuall its is printing null. This might be the problem, i guess. Can u plz tell me the way to resolvve this??

MSSQL datatypes that return NullPointerException

Using XSQLServlet with BEA Systems type 4 jDriver for SQL Server 7.0 Version: 5.1.0, I get the following error:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: java.lang.NullPointerException
while trying to access the following MSSQL Server datatypes which have non null values:
1. binary
2. image
3. sql_variant
4. timestamp
5. uniqueidentifier
6. varbinary
The problem is NOT with the jDriver for SQL Server because I've built a class that returns non null data for all datatypes. The problem must lie with XSQL Servlet.
To test, I use the following:
xsql file:
<xsql:query null-indicator="yes"
connection="{@connection}"
max-rows="{@max-rows}"
xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql"> {@sql}
</xsql:query>
url:
http://aetius/xsql/demo/query.xsql?connection=bea&sql=select+a,c,d,e+from+TYPES
I'll delete column names, eg column b which is a binary data type, from the above URL to eliminate the java.lang.NullPointerException error.
I've created the TYPES table to contain every MSSQL datatype.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TYPES] (
[a] [bigint] NULL ,
[binary] (10) NULL ,
[c] [bit] NULL ,
[d] [char] (10) NULL ,
[e] [datetime] NULL ,
[f] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ,
[g] [float] NULL ,
[h] [image] NULL ,
[int] NULL ,
[j] [money] NULL ,
[k] [nchar] (10) NULL ,
[l] [ntext] NULL ,
[m] [numeric](18, 0) NULL ,
[n] [nvarchar] (10) NULL ,
[o] [real] NULL ,
[p] [smalldatetime] NULL ,
[q] [smallint] NULL ,
[r] [smallmoney] NULL ,
[s] [sql_variant] NULL ,
[t] [text] NULL ,
[timestamp] NULL ,
[v] [tinyint] NULL ,
[w] [uniqueidentifier] NULL ,
[x] [varbinary] (50) NULL ,
[y] [varchar] (50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
BTW the MSSQL Server datatypes that DO work with XSQL Servlet:
1. bigint
2. bit
3. char
4. datetime
5. decimal
6. float
7. int
8. money
9. nchar
10. ntext
11. numeric
12. varchar
13. real
14. smalldatetime
15. smallint
16. smallmoney
17. text
18. tinyint
19. varchar

Thanks for the quick response.
The problem does NOT seem to be in the XML SQL Utility. In other words using an instance of OracleXMLQuery in my data type test Java program, I have a successful output including the data types in question.

Get Session Object return NullPointerException

Hi,

Your bean is defined with session scope and you use the method getRequestMap for request scope attributes.
Try getSessionMap().

CachedRowSet returns NullPointerException

 Looking at the stack trace, it doesn't appear to be a JRC issue. I've traced back the call in the Java sources, and it appears in the CachedRowSetImpl constructor. Googling, I found the issue to be common. One link I found was this:/message/2227591#2227591 [original link is broken]

Certificate not found Security BEA-090169

<pre>HI</pre>
I am trying to Access a External Webservice( which is a https... I am facing a lot of problem.
Initially I was having ConnectException.. We found out that it was due to proxy setting on our end So We set the proxy setting in our SetDomainEnv File
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=-Dplatform.home=%WL_HOME% -Dwls.home=%WLS_HOME% -Dwli.home=%WLI_HOME% -Dproperties.home=%DOMAIN_HOME%\properties -DproxySet=true -Dhttps.proxyHost=hostname -Dhttps.proxyPort=4443 -Dhttp.proxyHost=http-hostname -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|*.domain" -Dhttps.nonProxyHosts="localhost|*.domain"
This a solved the ConnectException problem..
But now still I am not able to get the response from the Webservice.. Its returning NullPointerException..
Even we trid to connect from outside the fireWall(Proxy).. Still we are getting the Problem .. Looks like it si looking for some Certs.. which it is not finding..
I even tried with 2more setting in setDomainEnv
-Dweblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true -Dweblogic.security.SSL.enforceConstraints=off
That did not Help
What I have to do to Solve this Issue.. Do we need to set some Certs.. If So How to set that?
Below is the Stack Trace..

Xml mapping with JPA error

I am İshak Teyran , the data manager of a team which attends to IBM XML Challenge Turkey, we are trying to build a dynamic web project in Rational Software Architect 7.5, WAS 7.0 , DB2 9.5 EE.
the article of Vitor Rodrigues - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-0901rodrigues/index.html - describes how to map xml to java using pureQuery however we need to do the same using JPA.. is there any difference?
we are trying to achieve the same using JPA. but unfortunately we failed..
for simplifying lets assume we have two tables , STUDENT ( id int, name char) and COURSES ( studentID int , and lessons xml) ... these two tables are related to each other with studentID foreign key... and we want to have student and courses java files where courses.java includes proper mapping to xml column lessons..
i tried to make an .xsd file for xml column lessons.. and then i created its java file.. then i used JPA for creating student and courses java files but it always turns me a null pointer exception.. i dont know why.. and as result , only student.java is being created..
i have tried following steps.
My database connection and the tables are already present.
1- i have created a new dynamic web site project, namely dene..
from project facets i enabled dynamic web module, faces support (base, enhanced componnents) , Java Persistence, Javascript Toolkit, JavaServer faces, JSTL, Web 2.0 , Websphere Web(Co-existence),Websphere Web(Extended),Default Style Sheet facets.. and these facets musts be enabled for our project.
2- i have created the CourseList.xsd and using -JAXB- i have created lessons.java
3- i right clicked project and from the menu .. JPA tools->Generate Entities .. i choose connection and tables to generate entities but unfortunately no entity gets created ... when i only choose student table to generate the entity of, Student.java is being created however Courses.java always returns nullpointerexception..
the stack trace of the exception is in the picture i attached.. here is its link.... [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/servlet/JiveServlet/download/430-250134-14212507-336353/hata.JPG]
i have thought it might be because i use the openjpa and jaxb libraries of RSA.. and then i tried to load the latest versions of JAXB and openjpa .. i added all of their .jar files to the application classpath.. (if it is sufficient to add only openjpa-1.2.0.jar and jaxb-api.jar files let me know it please).. but this did not work neither..
the only exception i get is :
An internal error occurred during: "Generating Entities".
java.lang.NullPointerException
while creating lessons.java and the entity java files i am making sure that i give the same package name for both ... but i never succeeded creating courses.java..
in RSA when i right click to project and go te JPA Tools menu there is a menu item "Configure Project for JDBC deployment" .. what is this for.. i have also tried using this and then trying to create entities but this failed too..
then when they did not work ;
i have decided to code the classes myself but in order to get things a little easier, i opened my DB and converted the XML column to a SMALLINT column .. just not an XML column... and then using JPA in RSA - i did not include openJPA jars in my project externally- i created the classes .. both Course.java and Student.java have been created well, because the column that was actually xml was converted to small integer..
and if i add the related persistence and strategy lines :
@Persistent
@Strategy("org.apache.openjpa.xmlmapping.XmlValueHandler")
to their proper places and editing the function and attributes data types and return types and then if i re-convert the column to XML data type in database, do you think it will work properly?
so i really need a suggestion.. any help will be appreciated..
what would you suggest?
how can we achieve this goal for those two tables i mentioned above in RSA and using JPA ?

Hi Tushar
You will need to be more specific. Do you want an XML layout to use for importing or exporting SAP Business One objects? Maybe give us details of the specific object. Most DI API objects have a write to XML which will give you the layout for that object. You can also refer to the REFDI.CHM file under the SDK Help folder.
Kind regards

Mapping in XI - cannot access Global Container parameters

Hi all,
we have the following problem in graphical XI mapping.
Trying to retrieve the run-time value of a global parameter, we cannot access the value itself (e.g. test using "display queue" menu).
We use 2 simple user-defined functions (getIdoc and corresponding setIdoc).
The source code for our custom get/set methods is:
public String getIdoc(Container container){
// This is a CUSTOM global parameter set <- cannot get the value itself
//String codMsgExport = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter("idoc");
//return codMsgExport.toString();
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
java.util.Map map;

map = globalContainer.getParameters();
// This is a STANDARD global parameter set <- cannot get the value itself, as well
String headerField = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE);
return headerField;
public String setIdoc(String codMsgExport,Container container){
container.setParameter("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
String retValue = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter("idoc");
return retValue.toString();
=> anyway, get method returns only blank values (testing by "display queue" with some custom values...)
It seems as if the parameter is seen, as pointing to a not existing variable - e.g. getParameter("idoczz") - XI runtime returns a NullPointerException.
Some XI server details:

Hi Sudharshan and Bhavesh,
I forgot to put a value under the tab PARAMETERS (this is the reason for the blank value, thanks:)).
Anyway, modifying (run-time by the set function) the standard runtime constant => leads to a get function with a single value returned (out) for "display queue", despite of test valorization: the initial value set under tab PARAMETERS.
Instead of using the runtime (standard) constant, using my (custom) global variable => leads to NullPointerException ("display queue" for get function) EVEN IF I initialize the variable (e.g. initIdoc() function called once at top-level target message).
under JAVA_SECTIONS_TOOLTIP button:
Global Variables
String idoc;
Initialization Section
idoc = "";
Clean-Up Section
idoc = "";
public String initIdoc(Container container){
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
// this is the only way NOT to get a NullPointerException
if ( globalContainer.getParameter("idoc") == null )
globalContainer.setParameter("idoc", "a");
return globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
initIdoc:
out (*)
[a]
(*) despite of initialization under JAVA_SECTIONS_TOOLTIP button
public void getIdoc(ResultList result,Container container){
//String codMsgExport = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter("idoc");
//return codMsgExport.toString();
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
java.util.Map map;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
map = globalContainer.getParameters();
//String headerField = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE);
// this returns null (out stream)
//String headerField = (String) map.get("idoc");
//if ( globalContainer.getParameter("idoc") == null )
//globalContainer.setParameter("idoc", "");
// this returns NullPointerException
String headerField = globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
//result.addValue(headerField);
// this returns NullPointerException
//return headerField.toString();
//return globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
result.addValue(globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString());
=> leads to NullPointerException
public String setIdoc(String codMsgExport,Container container){
GlobalContainer globalContainer;
globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
java.util.Map map;
map = globalContainer.getParameters();
//globalContainer.setParameter(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE, codMsgExport.toString());
//container.setParameter("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
//String retValue = (String) map.put(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE, codMsgExport.toString());
// this returns a NullpointerException
//String retValue = (String) map.put("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
globalContainer.setParameter("idoc", codMsgExport.toString());
//return "True"; // pointer for debug
//return retValue.toString(); // pointer for debug
return globalContainer.getParameter("idoc").toString();
setidoc:

(*) as if this "idoc" parameter is not the globally managed (JAVA_SECTIONS_TOOLTIP button), but one which lives inside the function and not outside for the get function..

Please help with Classloader

BufferedWriter write = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("file100.txt"));
write.write("testttttttttttttttt");
write.close();
File f1 = new File("file100.txt");
System.out.println(f1.exists()); --- this returns true
System.out.println(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("file100.txt").toString()); -- this returns NullPointerException, why??
also
File f = new File("file1.txt");
System.out.println(f.exists()); -- returns false, but file1.txt is in the same directory as file100.txt, the only difference is it wasn't created in the program, it's already there
Please help! thank you!

System.out.println(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("file1
0.txt").toString()); -- this returns
NullPointerException, why??The ClassLoader should be used to load java classes to memory, since file100.txt isn't a java class getSystemResource . To read a File use FileReader or FileInputStream.
>
also
File f = new File("file1.txt");
System.out.println(f.exists()); -- returns false,
se, but file1.txt is in the same directory as
file100.txt, the only difference is it wasn't created
in the program, it's already thereIs that the directory the program was started from? That wil most likely be the current directory is you don't specify a path.

Yet another question on code optimization

Hello again
Sorry for asking too many questions, but I really want to learn how to simplify my work.
Let's say I have this ArrayList that gets initialized every time a user clicks on a new combobox item and a set of numbers are added to it. I then add this arrayList to another arraylist that is initialized outside of the actionlistener class.
So basically every time the user clicks the inner arraylist is added to outer arraylist. But I don't want to have duplicate results if the user chooses to go back to the previous JTextAreas and delete the contents to start typing new stuff. The way i am doing this is like this:
ArrayList<String> filler = new ArrayList<String>(); //The filler that has to be unique, so the user won't screw with the pattern
filler.add("A*?1qkQOz]4X1QedyhA`H-6$U[I{]0n<RT.W})(J+z7o.<q[g5[y0YA2tv+c@WN");
//For each JtextArea object add a filler so that no Nullpointerexception happens with the use of arraylist.set()method....
for (int i = 0; i <textAreaObjs.size(); i ++){
 allValues.add(filler);
//Replace the unique filler with the actual user input saved in innerList which is of type ArrayList.
allValues.set(textCounter,innerList);
//Remove all the unnecessary fillers
for (int outerArrayCounter = 0; outerArrayCounter < allValues.size(); outerArrayCounter ++){
 for (int innerArrayCounter = 0; innerArrayCounter < allValues.get(outerArrayCounter).size(); j++){
 if (allValues.get(outerArrayCounter).get(innerArrayCounter).equals("A*?1qkQOz]4X1QedyhA`H-6$U[I{]0n<RT.W})(J+z7o.<q[g5[y0YA2tv+c@WN")){
 allValues.remove(outerArrayCounter);
 outerArrayCounter--;
 break;
}I tried the different methods of the ArrayList like arraylist.set() and if there is a null at this location: do this, if not do something else but they returned Nullpointerexceptions...
I tried the isEmpty method too but that only checks to see if the whole list is empty and not specific parts of the array....
Is there a better, faster, and simpler way of doing this?
Thanks for the help.

I thought this might help... an example of a Sorted[Descending]Map of Lists... I didn't tackle the "frequency aspect" I just generated a random "key" for the map... and a random string to stuff in the Word...
I presume your Word is {String word, int lineNumber, int startIndex} from the source-document... and now you need to query your frequency table for "the most common word" or maybe "the top five words".
You can fill in the blanks.
... and BTW... If I where doing this for real I'd be awfully tempted to extend TreeMap into a "generic" DescendingTreeMap, which I would stick somewhere in my common utils package, from whence it could be reused in future by myself and others.
If you want the code for krc.utilz.RandomString just ask.

Remove Personalization at User Level - Saved Searches

All,
There is a problem in the Saved Searches. We are on 11.5.10. The page immeditely throws error when a custom view is created using "Save Search" button.
It says,
## Detail 0 ##
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OADataBoundValueCustomization.getValue (OADataBoundValueCustomization.java:191)
I am not able to revert this view created through save search. I tried by setting the Disable Self-Service Personal to Yes at that user level where i created the view and bounced apache. But the error still exists.
Is there any means like by "Functional Administrator" responsibility where these views can be removed?
Thanks,
Padmaja

Pl see if a similar issue reported in MOS Doc 859190.1 (Personal Worklist Returns NullPointerException When 'Disable Self - Service Personal' Is Set To Yes) can help

Trouble with JDOM

hi
i am reading in an xml file using jdom.
i just want to simply access values between tags. there is a tag somewhere in my xml file "<accession>P1170</accession>" (so i'd want to extract 1170).
However the following file returns NullPointerException and I dont know why.
is this the simplest way to do what im trying to do anyway or is there a better way?

How to set MultiregionValue to Null?

I have Name string multiregional field in the main table. It has values for different regions:
Name("rus___") = "1"
Name("engUSA")="2"
Name("ukr___")="3"
I need to set these values to null, null, null. Here is the code:
MultiregionValue name = new MultiregionValue();
name.setValue("rus___",new NullValue());
name.setValue("engUSA",new NullValue());
name.setValue("ukr___",new NullValue());
record.setFieldValue(repository.getFieldId("MDM_MAIN", "NAME"),name);
Values chenge only in main region.
Name("rus___") = null
Name("engUSA") = "2"
Name("ukr___") = "3"
How can I solve this problem?

record.setFieldValue(repository.getFieldId("MDM_MAIN", "NAME"),null);
returns NullPointerException
record.setFieldValue(repository.getFieldId("MDM_MAIN", "NAME"),new NullValue());
problem is not solved.
Anyway, such solution is not appropriate for me. I need set some region values to null and other not. For example, not only (null, null, null) but also ("1231",null, "tere"), (null, "two", null) and so on. I wanted to simplify the problem description.

Java.lang.NullPointerException returned from webservice

               DataHandler dhSource = new DataHandler(new FileDataSource(filename));
               String endpointURL = "http://localhost:8080/axis/services/AttachmentService";

               call.addParameter("image",qname,ParameterMode.PARAM_MODE_IN);

               call.registerTypeMapping(dhSource.getClass(),qname,JAFDataHandlerSerializerFactory.class,JAFDataHandlerDeserializerFactory.class);

;          }catch(Exception e){
               System.err.println(e.toString());
this is my webservice,

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
public class SparePartAttachmentService{
     public SparePartAttachmentService(){}
     public String addImage(String sku,DataHandler dataHandler){
          System.out.println("trying");
          try{
               String filepath = "c:/wrox-axis/"+sku+"-image.jpg";
               FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(new File(filepath));
               BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(dataHandler.getInputStream());
               while(in.available()!=0){
                    fout.write(in.read());
          }catch(Exception e){
               return e.toString();
          return "Image: "+sku+" has been added successfully!!";
I did a test by stripping out the attachment being sent by the client and just let it send the string,
then in the webservice I stripped out the lines for the attachment and just returned the string and it worked ok, so it has been deployed correctly.
I have the Java Activation framework both in tomcat commons and my webapps lib dir.
I'm pretty sure the error is being thrown here,
public String addImage(String sku,DataHandler dataHandler){
any help would be greatly appreciated,
thank you,
JP.

Ok, I have now successfully got the stack trace to show where the exception bubbled, Im suprised its in the axis client as I assumed it was in the webservice, but this whole exercise has been extremely beneficial,
anyway this is the client code again and the stack trace error, I now think the problem lies within the JAF, possibly, however, im doing something incorrectly,

NullpointerException while returning XML bean from JDBC Control

Hi,
I have a simple jdbc control method which returns multiple rows of a table. i am trying to get the data in XML bean format and followed the instruction provided in the help documentation.
None of the columns in table has null values.
The exception I am getting is
Exception in getActiveAlertList

Any help is appreciated.

Hi!
I?m facing this same problem.
Have you found a solution?
I also tried to migrate an WL 8 application, that works with a DB Control, but got the error anyway.
If you, or someone else, found the solution, please share. I?d appreciate.
Thanks.
